HIGHWAY 1 EXPRESS BUS (HALF MOON BAY TO COLMA BART)

How about a SamTrans express bus running on Highway 1 between Half Moon Bay and Colma BART (no side-street meandering), stopping only at major junctions (Miramar, El Granada/Princeton, Moss Beach, Montara, Devil's Slide, Linda Mar, Rockaway, Reina del Mar, Sharp Park, Pacific Manor)?

Caltrans must prevent wrong-way drivers on Highway 1

A recent NextDoor post tells a harrowing tale of a Pacifica mother and child headed north uphill on Highway 1 as a mindless idiot comes barreling downhill on the wrong side of the freeway, nearly hitting them head-on. The woman said the wrong-way driver was in a black SUV and wearing a Giants cap. Several other commenters said they had experienced similar close calls, and we know that wrong-way collisions have claimed lives on Highway 1. Our traffic experts believe that some car navigation devices may mislead drivers with faulty mapping information, but even so, confusing on-ramps/off-ramps, combined with poor or no signage, could contribute to the confusion, not to mention driver impairment (drugs, alcohol, distractions). It's time for Caltrans to take a hard look at the ramps and signage along Highway 1.
